Keurig
This is the second K Cup coffee maker that I have purchased. The other one was not a Keurig. The other one crapped out on me after a few months. So I decided that the next one has to be a real Keurig. That is what I did, i bought my real Keurig. What I’m finding is that the Keurig is taller and thinner than the other one. Considering how little counter space that I have that makes my new Keurig more desirable. It drips quickly. The water reservoir is pretty good. The mechanisms work differently but similarly. One thing that I’ve noticed is that in order to get the Keurig to work, the top needs to open then close. Something that I didn’t need to do with the old machine. I used to set up the old machine for the next cup right after I made my coffee. With my Keurig, I can set it up but unless I open the top then close it, it won’t work. Also, the difference with cup sizes is different. With my old machine I could have gotten a 16 Oz cup of coffee. With the Keurig, I can only get a 12 Oz of cup of coffee. Fortunately, I only need 12 Oz to be made. The old machine could make iced coffee. The Keurig does not. Fortunately, I don’t need it to make iced coffee. Besides, I can figure out a different way to make it, if I need to. All in all, I’m very happy with my new Keurig. Another benefit is the red matches my kitchen better than the old machine did.

I don’t like this machine, but I LOVE IT!
Why did you pick this product vs others?:This machine is very easy to use and operates quickly. When I stated in the title that I love this machine, I meant it! Why? Well, for starts, I have spent many years and money trying to get a good blend of coffee without having to spend too much time. Although some expressos and other machines I spent money on, I have tried many types from general coffee filter types to cappuccino types. I admit I am not a pure coffee enthusiast as some are, however, I do enjoy a great tasting cup of coffee that can give me a boost when needed.With all that said, I can go on into details about my history, but to make it shorter, I finally found a machine that has decent settings for quantity and intensity with a fast delivery of coffee when needed. I was a bit skeptical until I watched a few videos regarding this machine, and now it is my priority machine for a good quick cup of coffee.. THANK YOU! I won’t go into details about the exact type of pods I use, but I have really enjoyed the Starbucks med. roast coffee. Anyhow, Each to their own, because people have many different aspects on what they may consider as a great coffee machine, but this is one Keurig brand I will hopefully be with for some tine. Noise level:nice and quiteTaste:makes great tasting coffee pods

It is Slim, takes up very little space.
learning curve. a bit confusing at first, even though it looks simple and easy. it’s relatively quiet which is good. it is pretty quick once you figure it out. If the water level is at a low point maybe approx. 8 to 10 ounce 1 cup worth it will not work until you add more water. so it would appear that it would have to be at least half full or more for it to work. The amount of water at about 3/4 full will only give you approx. 3 cups 8 .oz worth of coffee or three k cups. I was expecting more from this Keurig k express, but oh well. It is slim and takes up very little room on counter top which is perfect for me. I like the option of removing the water reservoir to add water or pouring water straight into it while still connected. I was a bit concerned that the reservoir did not appear to fit well and was concerned about possible leakage, but the weight from the water holds it in place and firm. Would I recommend this yes, specially if you only drink one or two cups, have very little counter space for a regular size coffee maker and you don’t need a clock, or timer for auto start at a particular time. UPDATE: Now that I have used this a couple of times, it is easy to use. guess it was just me 🙂 So once you plug in, (the is short (2ft length) install k cup close lid, the lights go on, choose your preference of size push that button and good to go.Having my third cup now just to see and verify. So yes about 3/4 full of water will give you three k cups 8 oz worth of coffee. so again my take YES I would recommend this item. and it is So easy to use.

No dripping
This Keurig single cup coffee maker is replacing another one that went belly up. I like that this one gives me more options of the cup size that I want to use, I like that it has a strong button. The best part of this is that it doesn’t drip after it’s done brewing. I like that it holds a lot of water so I only have to fill the reservoir every week. It’s very easy to clean and I clean it every week by running vinegar through it. The best part is that now I have a different choice of how many ounces of coffee I want to make.

Outstanding! Never thought I would buy one.
I like this K cup brewer. It is heavier than I expected, so must have some quality materials. I brewed with a stainless K cup, and taste was excellent. Brew was fast as well on 12 ounces. I highly recommend this machine over a drip maker. I expect stronger coffee with fine grind as well. No need to buy toss away K cup expensive pods. Just buy a stainless and use espresso grind for strong, or drip grind for regular.Update: a typical stainless reusable k cup holds 11 grams of coffee. A can off coffee will yield 61 cups in the reusable k cup. If you buy throw away k cups 10 pods will cost about $10.00! For almost the same price you brew 61 k cups. The toss away k cups of any brand is a giant rip off. The taste of Folgers was no different to me than toss away Dunkin coffee. I guess if people pay $8.00 for candy coffee at a drive through, the toss away at a dollar a cup looks good. For me, a stainless k cup and canned coffee saves $$$ and tastes better. I took a toss away k cup apart. Coffee was only in 3/4 of the plastic k cup. What a rip.I use paper filters in my stainless K cup pod. Simple and totally recyclable. I just fill the paper filter to the top, then push on the stainless k cup pod cover. No need to pack the coffee. I tried packing and there was no difference in flavor. I actually think the loose pack grounds in the stainless k cup has a more robust flavor.So far, the brewer flawlessly works great. I wish I would have bought one when they first came available. What a great product.

Easy to Use, price is right.
So far, so good. Great space saver. Works just like the larger one, but no need for a larger one as this makes 8/10/12 cups. Price is right. Easy to use.

Great product
We received our product fast it was what described . But it was the wrong item no fault of there’s. I thought it was bigger but it did work but it was the wrong one oops we all order at times . But if it could of worked for me I would of kept it nice quality and fits its purpose . So if a person needs a small one this is perfect . Great Job and again very fast getting my item . The one I ordered to replace it does not even work it was cracked when we opened the box and we plugged it in and it would not even come on and it cost big bucks . Oh boy did I go thru crap to get this issue fixed. Unreal we was excited to get it got to have our coffee before we seen the cracked part well it would not come om. So we called to try to trouble shoot well it was broke from jump so again I was disappointed . So we found one at Walmart and got works great . But the issue is that when I called to talk about it because when I went to do a return they only was going to give me parcel credit on a product that was broken and would not even come on I’m like ok I habe a broken product and I have to pay half of it anyway . Well that was it . It took me 4 phone calls several pictures to just get my refund and they said we do not except returns on this product well if is does not work we can not use it . So I got them to finally send Me a label.to return it after all it never did even turn on so we got a faulty product it happens but stand behind you 3rd party sellers make it right I was not asking for it free it broken . Or a free replacement . I could not wait 2 more days so I bought the same one at Walmart. So they shipped me a 3rd one from Amazon that I did not even order and now i have to deal with a product I did not even reorder .i hit options just put my refund back on my card instead they sent me a replacement I did not ask for . So I wrnt thru a big Hassel to get it canceled well it still came so I have to send it back just to get a refund for the first broken one . So watch this they will just op to replace it even if you don’t want it replaced ok thank you . I love amazon never have I had this issue but it has been the biggest Hassel just to get a refund for a faulty product . So next time I’ll check on who and what I order from this company . Who ever I talked to really told me a still be charged for something I sent back never used like I can help it waa broke cracked and would not even come on so it was im.sure a return and did not get noticed and just passed on

Very Fast little Keurig.
This little express Keurig has become my new best friend. I’ve been using it for a few months now and couldn’t be happier with its design, durability, speed, and how well it fits in small spaces. It brews both delicious coffee and tea without any leakage, or issues, and it’s really very quiet in my opinion. It’s so compact I was able to design my whole tea/coffee bar around it. My tea maker fits perfectly beside it on top of my K-cup holder (drawer). My spoon, stir sticks, cup and napkin holder, sit directly to the left of it and are the same height. To top it off I added a 3-tier shelf to the corner to hold my honey, tea tins of various types of teas, and other goodies to go in coffee and tea. I no longer drink soda thanks to this easy to use and amazingly fast little Keurig. Highly recommend.

Quick and Tasty Brew!
I love this thing!! It brews my cup of coffee very quickly; and I can choose from three different cup sizes (8, 10, 12 oz.). The “strong” setting is a great option whenever I want a richer tasting cuppa! This is my first Keurig, and I ordered the new Island Berry color, which is lovely! I should have gotten a Keurig long ago…it makes an absolutely great cup of coffee. I brew and head right out the door! Highly recommend!

Very nice.
Very nice coffee maker .. we bought it to replace the slim mini. It’s got a nice reservoir on the back. You’ll find yourself filling it quite often… If you have a couple of coffee drinkers in the family.. however I find that more sanitary then continuing to pour cups in at a time ..sometimes people just rinse the cup and pour the water in and that’s not good either.. so you want the little reservoir for sure. You don’t wanna overfill the coffee grounds ..if you’re using the reusable cups because it’ll run very slow. And also if you do buy the reusable k cups, you wanna make sure that they’re open on the bottom and on the side because otherwise it doesn’t work out well. If you use the pre-main ones they work perfectly.. makes really great tasting coffee. I like this particular one because you choose.. 8/10/12 ounces whichever you prefer. As well as a button to make it stronger if you like. And the price ..you cannot go wrong with the price on this one… and actually this particular one that we ordered, we found one in the used like new where people just return them because they don’t want them or it’s a broken box absolutely perfect maker ..nothing wrong with it. if you get the chance to go that way, I highly recommend it
